No -- the ".sh" file is (in this case and in general) a file that
should be fed to a shell, so you should run it simply as
sh the-file.sh
or you can just make it executable and run that:
chmod +x the-file.sh
./the-file.sh
(You've probably seen the second entry at
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/sh, which is misleading.)
Note that there is a problem with the sh installers for 5.0, if you
answer "no" to the first question (about a "unix-style distribution")
then you won't have any problem. (This will create a single directory
with the racket installation -- and it's more convenient in many
cases, since you can move that directory anywhere you want.)
